Random

Like the inclusion of squelch adjustment

Answered I love them all equally, except thats a little misleading, I love them all except the Dora9 equally. I just can't love it... Now if it were an Anton....

I wonder what would weigh more. Enough alcohol to cool the radar for the whole flight or the pumps and rads to go closed loop... I also wonder why air cooling wasn't used. Air density too low for good heat transfer at altitude?

I use MFG crosswinds too. The accuracy you can achieve with them is amazing!

Bugs and Problems = Issues, surely. Unless you want it renamed?

I suspect a rethink may be in order once the 109 is out! As elevator getting too heavy was a limiting factor in dives. A weakness that some other aircraft could exploit.

Same as used in British aircraft for decades. Hand lever plus bias via rudder deflection was standard up until pretty recently in the UK Thats the reason that the "brakes on" hand signal is open hand to clenched fist, and vice versa.

Hot and Dry in that part of the world! Great weather for keeping machines in decent condition

The reversal bug is THE biggest issue with the G940. It's supposed to be a feature to smooth out spiking pots. It ignores sudden changes in value. This means when you reverse control direction it "sticks" at the old value until a threshold is passed. At which point the new value takes over and you get a sudden control input. Makes small corrections nearly impossible on some axis as you get no response... no response... and suddenly too much as you cross the threshold. Latest firmware makes this threshold VERY small with X and Y (shouldn't be needed at all as X and Y are on a hall sensor!) so it's not noticeable on the stick itself. Unfortunately its still present on the other axis.

The profiler software isn't THAT bad. It just needs each profile linked to the .exe of the game associated with it. So you may want to duplicate a small rarely used .exe a load of times so you can have multiple profiles for dcs. You can either link the profile to the exe so it loads the correct profile at game startup, or set the profile manually. Manual is the only option for DCS really as you want a profile per aircraft. Another minor issue with the profiler is that the mode switch tends to reset to 1 whenever you add a new command. So if you create the key command when you go to bind it it will usually need resetting again as it will have defaulted to mode 1. Ideally set up your commands 1st, then allocate them to buttons. Other things to consider: Update to the latest firmware for the stick. This eliminates the reversal bug on the X and Y axis. Set "hysteresis" options to minimum via "game controllers" "properties" in windows. This will minimise the reversal bug for the other axis. Finally to completely eliminate the reversal bug you will need to run the axis through a seperate USB controller board like one from Leo Bodnar. This is a relatively big job though requiring you to open up the rudder pedals and throttle and replace wires + extend them outside of the casings.

Control mappings could do with some tweaking IMO too. Gear is just one example. The weapons selector rotary is another. Could really do with cycling control built in like I have set in my G940 programming sodtware for the gear.

Its Soviet tech. It doesn't have to have a reason!

My 1st guess would be nosecone switch. I'm always forgetting it!

Another option if your stick supports it is programming one button for cycling key commands. 1st press of the button unlocks. Sexond retracts. Third sets to neutral. 4th locks

Managed to watch it and it wasn't bad at all. Though they did seem to make out that the .50 shooting up a BMW was representative od what a Mk1 spit would do to a 109.... I was lucky enough to be at the ARC a week ago and a couple of times during the build of this spitfire. Got a decent look at it. They aren't exagerating when they say its probably the best in the world!

Any news on Mig21 support Towsim?

its an axis. So you have to set it in axis commands. Or you can use the programming software to assign key presses for various axis deflections

Love the idea of warthog compatible stick and rudder sets! I have a few on my wishlist but probably not really possible.

deadman sensor it taped over but it DOES feel like the switch cutting in and out except the force never entirely dies. Just kick kick then ok for minutes, then a few kicks Edit: Checked the switch and it IS cutting in and out even when taped over. Its more reliable when my hand is over it also. Wonder if the stick is dying....

Problems with FFB again I'm afraid. The stick kicks when maneuvering for no apparent reason. Nowhere near a stall or anything.

Been slowly learning the Mig and today I decided to go PVP for real for the 1st time. Another ACG pilot is currently learning the F15 and we went one on one. To balance it out I had GCI and he was limited to sparrows and the earlier sidewinder variant. All went to plan I took off and flew north to get away from the direct approach to his airfield. Staying low I patiently waited for my GCI controller to give me a vector. When he finally does I maneuvered to flank the incoming F15 and finally get abeam of him and turn in and begin my climb. The F15 is now dead ahead of me and my RWR hasn't made a peep. Drop tanks are now empty so they get jettisoned. Reheat engaged and I start to reel him in... 30km.... 20.... 10... This is where I make the mistake. I know its going to be hard to eyeball him and fire up the radar briefly to locate him and hope to send him an IR missile before he realises whats happening. I underestimated how quickly he would react to the RWR and he promptly turned head to head with me! Rear aspect IR missiles are now useless. A few passes and my RWR goes ballistic. I somehow avoid a sparrow I didn't even see and on the next pass actually SEE him launch. For some reason the jammer pod which was set to auto dispense chaff and flares wasn't and just as I switched to manual and hit the button the Sparrow made contact. I'm really enjoying this module, I've never really been into jets in flightsims but the sabre and now the Mig21 have got me properly hooked! Is there anyone out there willing to give me a bit of one on one tuition on how to use the Mig correctly?

How are you finding the rift with the latest SDK? I've not tried DCS recently since the judder in the last version was unbearable! Any better yet?

Absolutely. Imagine the challenge of flying the 1st ever successful flying machine!

There is no nosecone. Its the fluoride in the water making you hallucinate. Or is it chemtrails? I get so confused.

All clusterbombs suffer from this. An over the shoulder release gets good spread but terrible accuracy...
